If I'm not too late, what you have to do is pull down on that orange wire
until it's between "R" and "N", then let it snap back(do this twice).
Then put the truck in 1st and reattach the wire in the slot on the shift
lever. It's self adjusting if you follow these steps(I've had my cluster
out 4 or 5 time with no problem). HTH!!
